Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
The fate of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard remains uncertain.
The fight is on to get it removed from the Pentagons recommended list of closures. But, what happens if the Shipyard does shut down?
It was 14 years ago Pease Air Force Base closed.
Since then it has been transformed into an International Tradeport -- with dozens of companies and
thousands of jobs.
Could something similar come out of the Shipyard property?
The Pease Development Authority controls the Tradeport and when George Bald returned last year as its director Richard Ager met up with him for a look at the past and to talk about the future.
script iconIntro Shipyard Future

On Friday the battle to save the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard continues with Maine and New Hampshire lawmakers meeting with the chairman of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission.
The Pentagon's recommended closure of the Portsmouth Shipyard is now being reviewed by the 9-member panel.
At least 2 Commissioners will tour the shipyard next week.
A Regional Hearing on the BRAC List is slated for July 6-th in Boston.
While attention is focusing on SAVING the yard -- quiet conversations are going on as to the Re-USE of this choice section of New England Coast.should the fight be LOST.
Here to talk about the potential Future of the Shipyard: ROSS Gittell, Professor of Management with the UNH Whittemore School of Business & Economics, and Craig Seymour, Vice President of Financial Strategies at RKG Associates-- a Durham-based economic, planning & real estate consultanting firm.
Welcome.
Q CRAIG SEYMOUR: You've been involved in the development of military bases in the past.
RKG worked on the re-development of PEASE.
So, What are the CHALLENGES a military base poses in re-development efforts?
Q ROSS GITTELL: What's the likelihood of a PRIVATE Shipbuilding company coming in --
something akin to Electric Boat in Groton, CT??
** would it be difficult to convert facility into private shipbuilding biz
** domestic shipbuilding industry is ailing -- would it be difficult to sustain shipbuilding company.
** No Demand --Navy has excess capacity-- Bath Iron Works --not building as many ships now
Q CRAIG: Pease -- is often touted as a successful model of a re-developed military base.
But, it took 10 years to rebound.
Can you revisit that time for us -- what was that like?
Q ROSS GITTELL: Would the GOAL for the shipyard be the same as it was for Pease:
something that would CREATE the Most JOBS.
Q CRAIG: The Naval Yard's ASSETS: Shipbuilding infrastructure -- deepwater frontage on Piscatauqua--
views across the river to Portsmouth.
There are some interesting PROPOSALS being talked about?
Cruise Ship Terminal, Seaside Park, Oceanography Institute.
Hi-END condos.
Oil Refinery
Q This week the federal government said it would provide 1-million dollars in planning money for
communities that may lose civilian jobs in base closings.
Labor Dept says in past base closings communities that planned well made successful transitions after military left. State Invested MILLIONS in helping PEASE attract industry.
========
ROSS GITTELL/CRAIG SEYMOUR
Q Lot of UNKNOWS re: Site: Environmental condition given 2 centuries of heavy industrial use
Restricted access means Layout of facilities not well known.
Q I've heard some talk about SEAVEY Island -- being tranformed much like Newcastle
Could we see a similiar TRANSFORMATION???
script iconIntro Budget Update
Return to index of stories...
Turning now to developments at the State House -- the latest version of the state budget is nearly complete.
The Senate Finance Committee has been working long hours over the past several weeks finding ways to balance state expenditures with revenues.
Richard Ager sat down with two members of that committee to ask about what the final document will look like.
script iconTag Budget Update
Return to index of stories...
Senators Clegg and D'Allesandro both say they don't expect Governor Lynch to veto the budget, even though he has criticized the House and Senate for making cuts to the budget he proposed in February.

Wednesday, May 25, 2005:
We taped this show early to accommodate one of our guests. We started just after 4:30pm. We had one false start. All else went well. We had to tape Friday's promo after the show in additioin to Thursday's since there will be no taping tomorrow. We finished everything by 5:20pm.
Director's Log:
The levels going in to be recorded were off so Adam Goodine said let's start over, which, is fine. But I noticed that the two tapes that we re-cut in edit 2 onto 2 new tapes looked awful and had lots of hits on them. I think it is the record tapes themselves. They seem to create a lot of hits. It is making more determined to change most of our master tapes to DVC. I want to start that change over in the fall when we come back. I am going to work on that transition during our production hiatus.
